Spring Detox Salad & Smoothie Recipes
Spring is prime detox time!
Detoxing doesn't just mean doing a cleanse - there are plenty of ways to detox daily by including functional ingredients in your diet! Foods like greens (spinach, lettuce, etc.), turmeric, ginger, garlic, and nuts are all great for detoxing because they are full of fiber and antioxidants.
We are sharing two of our favourite detox recipes that used to be on our '76 Sips Cafe menu. Keep scrolling to see our Detox Salad & Detox 2.0 Smoothie recipes!

We've all been there. You set a goal for yourself to work out more but you can't seem to get into the routine. The workouts might be too hard or you might not have the energy for it. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that at least 1 in 4 adults do not get enough physical activity. If you're inactive, you carry a 20% to 30% greater risk of premature death compared to more active lifestyles. If you have trouble finding the time or energy to work out, VILPA may be a solution for you.
